Think about it, possiblities are just factors we dont know. in fact every action has only one result no matter how complicated the action was. If you know all possible factors that will effect the event, you may calculate its end. Like knowing the result of two trains coming against each other on one rail.
So can a god possibly predict everything after big bang?

I think more to the point a diestic god, as described here, wouldn't care.

@ Frodo intersting point here though, are christians universally determinists? And would you say diests were?
